Product Description
Combustion Air Requirements
Modine PSH and BSH model unit heaters are listed as separated
combustion unit heaters and are defined as follows: A unit heater
for installation in non-residential structures which, when connected
to a sealed combustion air pipe and sealed exhaust vent, supplied
by the installer, constructed so that when installed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, air for combustion is derived from the
outside atmosphere and the flue gases from the appliance are
discharged to the outside atmosphere and the flue gases from the
appliance are discharged to the outside atmosphere.
Modine models PSH and BSH separated combustion units are
designed to receive air for combustion directly from the outside
atmosphere via field installed combustion air piping between the
unit and the outside atmosphere. The combustion air inlet of the
unit must be connected to the outside atmosphere.
In the U.S., the installation of these units must comply with the
“National Fuel Gas Code,” ANSIZ223.1, latest edition (also known
as NFPA 54) and other applicable local building codes.
In Canada, the installation of these units must comply with local
plumbing or waste water codes and other applicable codes and
with the current code CAN/CGA-B149.1, “Installation Code for
Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment” or CAN/CGAB149.2, “Installation Code for Propane Burning Appliances and
Equipment.”
1. All installation and service of these units must be performed by
a qualified installation and service agency only as defined in
ANSIZ223.1, latest edition or in Canada by a licensed gas fitter.
2. This unit is certified by C.S.A., with the controls furnished. For
replacement parts, submit the complete model, control code
and serial number shown on rating plate on the unit, Modine
reserves the right to substitute other authorized controls as
replacements.
3. Unit is balanced for correct performance. Do not alter fan or
operate motors at reduced speed.
4. Information on controls is supplied separately.
5. Modine unit heaters use the same burner for natural and
propane gases.
Locating Unit Heaters
CAUTION
Units must not be installed in potentially explosive, flammable or
corrosive atmosphere.
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure do not locate ANY
gas-fired unit in areas where chlorinated, halogenated or acid
vapors are present in the atmosphere.
In locating units, consider general space-heating requirements,
availability of gas, and proximity to vent locations. Unit heaters
should be located so heated air streams wipe exposed walls
without blowing directly against them. In multiple unit installations,
arrange units so that each supports the sir stream from another,
setting up circulatory air movement in the area. In buildings
exposed to prevailing winds, a large portion of the heated air
should be directed along with windward wall. Avoid interference of
air streams as much as possible.
Mounting height (measured from bottom of unit) at which unit
heaters are installed is critical. Maximum mounting heights for
standard units are listed in Tables 7 and 8 on page 18. Alternate
mounting heights for units with deflector hoods or nozzles are
shown on pages 10 and 12. The maximum mounting heights for
any unit is that heights above which the unit will not deliver heated
air to the floor. The maximum mounting heights must not be
exceeded in order to assure maximum comfort.
Motors and controls used on Modine unit heaters are designed for
use in ambient temperatures between 32°F and 90°F. If an
application exists where ambient temperatures can be expected to
fall outside of this range, contact factory for recommendations.
The maximum equivalent length of combustion air piping cannot
exceed 30 feet. Keep this limitation in mind when locating units.
See page 5 for combustion air piping instructions.
Unit Suspension
CAUTION
Minimum clearance to combustibles is 12 inches from the
bottom; 18 inches from the sides; 6 inches from the top and vent
connector.
Allow at least 12" at the rear of unit or 6" beyond the end of the
motor (Whichever is greater) to provide ample air for proper
operation of fan.
Provide clearance for opening hinged bottom of servicing. See
Figure 2.
Be sure the means of suspension is adequate to support the
weight of the unit. (See page 19 for unit weights.) For proper
operation, the unit must be installed in a level horizontal position.
Clearances to combustibles as specified above must be strictly
maintained.
On all propeller units except the PSH280 and PSH340, two tapped
holes (3/8 - 16) are located in the top of the unit to receive ceiling
hangers. Units with two point suspension, models PSH130 through
PSH225, incorporate a level hanging feature. Depending on what
options and accessories are being used, the heater may not hang
level as received from the factory. Do not hang heaters with
deflector hoods until referring to the "installation manual for
deflector hoods" and making the recommended preliminary
adjustments on the heater. These preliminary adjustments need to
be made with the heater resting on the floor.
PSH130 through PSH225 units without deflector hoods that do not
hang level after being installed, can be corrected in place. Simply
remove both outer side panels (screws to remove are on back
flange of side panel) and you will see the (adjustable) mounting
brackets (Figure 3). Loosen the set screws holding the mounting
brackets in place and using a rubber mallet or something similar,
tap the heater into a position where it does hang level. Re-tighten
set screws and replace the outer side panels.
The PSH280 and PSH340 have four mounting holes. On all blower
units, except the BSH280 and BSH340, two tapped holes are
provided in the top of the unit and two holes in the blower support
bracket. The BSH280 and BSH340 have four tapped holes in the
top of the unit and two in the blower support bracket for mounting.
To assure that flames are directed into the center of heat
exchanger tubes, unit must be supported in a vertical position, with
suspension hangers “UP.” Check with a level. This is important to
the operation and life of unit.
NOTE: Pipe hanger adapter kits, as shown in Figure 3, are
available as accessories from Modine. The hardware allows for
pipe caps to be secured into the top of the unit heater with
machine screws (as illustrated - machine screws are 3/8 - 16 x
1.75 UNC-2A THD). The pipe caps can then accommodate 3/4"
NPT pipe for mounting. Three different kits are available with either
2, 4, or 6 adapters per kit. See price sheet to determine proper kit.

Requirements
6. Avoid venting through unheated space when possible.
When venting does pass through an unheated space,
insulate runs greater than 5 feet to minimize condensation.
Inspect for leakage prior to insulating and use insulation
that is noncombustible with a rating of not less than 350F.
Install a tee fitting at the low point of the vent system and
provide a drip let with a clean out cap as shown in figure
01. The drip leg should be cleaned annually.
7. When the vent passes through an INTERIOR wall or floor, a
metal thimble 4 inches greater than the vent diameter is
necessary. If there is 6 feet or more of vent pipe in the
open space between the unit heater and where the vent
pipe passes through the wall or floor, the thimble need only
be 2 inches greater than the diameter of the vent pipe. If a
thimble is not used, all combustible material must be cut
away to provide a 6 inches clearance. Any material used to
close the opening must be noncombustible.
8. Limit the total equivalent vent pipe length to a minimum of 5
feet and a maximum of 30 feet, making the vent system as
straight as possible. (The equivalent length of a 4 inch
elbow is 5 feet and a 6 inch elbow is 10 feet).
9. Seal the joints with a metallic tape suitable for temperatures
up to 350F. (3M tapes 433 or 363 are acceptable.) Wrap
the tape two full turns around the vent pipe.
10. Do NOT vent this appliance into a masonry chimney.

13. Long runs of horizontal or vertical combustion air pipes may
require insulation in very cold climates to prevent the
buildup of condensation on the outside of the pipe where
the pipe passes through conditioned spaces.
1. Table 1 summarizes the ANSI venting requirements for the
various appliance categories. All PSH/BSH models are
category III appliances. The venting requirements for a
category III appliance are included in these instructions.
2. Select the size of vent and combustion air pipe that fits the
power exhauster and combustion air intake on the rear of
the appliance (see pages 14 and 15 for dimensions). Do
not use a vent or combustion air pipe smaller than the size
of the outlet or inlet on the appliance. The pipe should be
single wall galvanized steel or other suitable corrosion
resistant material. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code for
minimum thickness of vent material. The minimum
thickness for connectors varies depending on the pipe
diameter.
3. A minimum of 12 inches straight pipe is recommended from
the power exhauster outlet before turns in the vent pipe.
11. Do NOT use dampers or other devices in the vent or
combustion air pipes.
14. Vertical combustion air pipes should be fitted with a tee with
a drip leg and a clean out cap to prevent against the
possibility of any moister in the combustion air pipe from
entering the unit. The drip leg should be inspected and
cleaned periodically during the heating season.
15. When condensation may be a problem, the vent system
shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area
where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or
hazard or could be detrimental to the operation of regulator,
relief openings or other equipment.
16. Precautions must be taken to prevent degradation of
building materials by flue products.
17. The vent cap for vertically vented appliances should extend
above any portion of a building within a horizontal distance
of 2 feet. Refer to figures 7 and 8.

Venting Instructions for Concentric Vent
Options
The concentric vent concept allows for the vent pipe and the
combustion air pipe to pass through one hole in an
EXTERIOR wall or roof. The concentric vent kits offered are
horizontal or vertical. Venting with 2 pipes; a combustion air
pipe and flue product vent pipe remains an option, primarily
for replacement heaters where two holes through the exterior
of a building already exist.
When utilizing the concentric vent option, you have already
pre-determined whether the unit heater will be horizontal vent
or vertical vent and have received the appropriate kit. At this
time, you need to verify that you have all the components
required for the venting option chosen. The components for
each kit are as follows:
Horizontal Concentric Vent Kit:
• concentric adapter assembly
• specially designed vent termination cap
• specially designed inlet air guard
Vertical Concentric Vent Kit:
• concentric adapter assembly
• standard Briedert Type L or Gary Steel 1092 vent
termination cap
• specially designed inlet terminal
Although the first installation you will make will be the
concentric adapter assembly, you should now “read ahead”
the instructions for the type of venting option you’ve already
chosen - i.e. horizontal concentric, vertical concentric, 2 pipe
horizontal or 2 pipe vertical. These instructions can be found
on pages 5, 6,or 7 of these installation instructions. After
reading your specific instructions, come back to “Installing the
Concentric Vent Adapter Box” section and begin.

4. Determine the appropriate length of vent pipe that must be
attached to the vent outlet (the concentric side) of the box.
Refer to the following sections for the minimum length of
vent pipe to be used for the method of venting (vertical or
horizontal). Make sure to add the length of the field
supplied brackets if used, and the thickness of the wall or
roof.
5. Cut the vent pipe to the proper length and attach it to the
vent outlet of the concentric vent adapter box using at
least 3 corrosion resistant sheet metal screws. Seal this
joint using metallic tape suitable for temperatures up to
350° F. Wrap the tape two full turns around the vent pipe.
See figure 4.

Installing the Concentric Vent Adapter Box
CAUTION
The concentric vent adapter box must be installed inside of
the structure or building. Do not install this box on the
exterior of a building or structure.
1. Determine the location of the box. Refer to the instructions
in the following sections for the method of venting to be
used (vertical or horizontal). Maintain all clearances as
listed in these instructions.
2. This box can be mounted flush to the wall or roof, or the
box can be offset from the wall or roof by using field
supplied brackets. When mounting the box, consider
serviceability and access to the vent and combustion air
pipes.
3. If the box is to be mounted using field supplied brackets,
these brackets must be strong enough to rigidly secure
the box to the wall or roof, and should be made from
corrosion resistant material. After determining the length
of the field supplied brackets, attach them to the sides of
the box using several corrosion resistant sheet metal
screws. See figure 3 for typical installation and brackets.
6. Determine the length of the combustion air pipe to extend
through the wall. Refer to the following sections for the
minimum length of combustion air pipe to be used for the
method of venting being used, vertical or horizontal. Cut
the pipe to the proper length.
7. Slide the combustion air pipe over the vent pipe. Attach
the combustion air pipe to the adapter box using at least 3
non corrosive sheet metal screws. See figure 5.

the distance requirements as defined in the following
sections are met. Securely attach the assembly (adapter
box and vent and combustion air pipe) to the wall or roof
using appropriate fasteners.
1. The vent must terminate with a Gary Steel Model 1092 or
Briedert Type L cap for the appropriate pipe size.
2. The combustion air pipe must terminate with the cap
supplied by the manufacturer. This cap is specially
designed to work with the concentric vent system. Refer to
the parts list on page 5 for the appropriate part.

1. The vent pipe must terminate with the terminal supplied by
the manufacture for horizontal venting. Refer to the parts
list on page 5 for the appropriate part.
2. The combustion air pipe must terminate at least 1 inch from
the wall. This will prevent water from running down the wall
and into the pipe and allows for easy installation of the
combustion air intake guard.
6. Caulk the gap between the combustion air cap and the vent
pipe with silicone sealant, or other appropriate sealants
suitable for metal to metal contact and for temperatures of
350° F.
Two Pipe Venting
Two pipe venting refers to using two penetrations through an
exterior wall or roof. This method of venting is primarily used
for replacement heaters where two holes through the exterior of
a building exist. To vent using this method, either (2) Briedert
Type L caps or (2) Gary Steel Model 1092 caps provided with
your unit heater must be used. These caps are used for both
vertical and horizontal venting of the heater.

3. Caulk between the wall and the air intake pipe.
4. Maintain 12 inches from the combustion air inlet to the back
of the vent terminal.
5. Attach the combustion air intake guard using non corrosive
screws as shown in figure 5. This guard must be placed at
the end of the pipe on the exterior of the building. This
guard helps to prevent animals and debris from entering the
combustion air pipe.
Vertical Concentric Venting:

1. The bottom of the combustion air cap must be located
above the snow line or 12 inches above the roof, which ever
is greater.
2. The vent must terminate at least 1 foot above and 16
inches horizontally from the combustion air inlet.
3. When the vent passes through a combustible roof, a metal
thimble 4 inches greater than the vent diameter is
necessary. If there is 6 feet or more of vertical vent pipe in
the open space between the unit heater and where the vent
pipe passes through the roof, the thimble need only be 2
inches greater than the diameter of the vent pipe. If a
thimble is not used, all combustible material must be cut
away to provide a 6 inch clearance. Any material used to
close the opening must be noncombustible.

Installation of Blower Models (BSH Units)
CAUTION
Proper air flow and distribution, across the hat exchanger must
be provided to prevent early failure of the blower unit heater.
Attachment of Field Installed Ductwork,
Blower BSH Models Only
Burned-out heat exchanger and shorter equipment life will
result from not providing uniform air distribution.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to attach ductwork of any kind to propeller PSH
models.
When installing unit, always follow good duct design practices
for even distribution of the air across the heat exchanger.
Recommended layouts are shown below. When installing blower
units with ductwork, the following must be done.
1. Provide uniform air distribution over the heat exchanger.
Use turning vanes where required. See figures below.
2. Provide removable access panels in the ductwork on the
downstream side of the unit. These openings should be
large enough to view smoke or reflect light inside the casing
to indicate leaks in the heat exchanger and to check for hot
spots on exchanger due to poor air distribution or lack of
sufficient air (cfm).
3. If ductwork is connected to the rear of the unit, use Modine
blower enclosure kit, or if using field designed enclosure,
maintain dimensions of proper blower enclosure as shown.

CAUTION
Disconnect power supply before making wiring connections to
prevent electrical shock and equipment damage. ALL UNITS
MUST BE WIRED STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
WIRING DIAGRAM FURNISHED WITH UNIT.
ANY WIRING DIFFERENT FROM WIRING DIAGRAM MAY BE
HAZARDOUS TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY.
Any damage to or failure of Modine units caused by incorrect
wiring of the units is not covered by MODINE’S STANDARD

All field installed wiring must be done in accordance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — Latest Edition or
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 or local codes.
Unit must be electrically grounded according to these codes.
See wiring diagram shipped with unit. For optional wiring
diagrams see Bulletin 6-453.
Check for red heat exchanger tubes. If bottom of tubes become
red while blower unit is in operation, check for proper air volume
and air distribution. Adjust blower speed or correct discharge
duct design to correct problem.
Installation of Blower Units (BSH)
Determining Blower Speed
The drive assembly and fan motor on all gas-fired blower units
are factory assembled. The adjustable motor sheave has been
pre-set to obtain maximum air flow without any external static
pressure. The motor sheave should be adjusted as required
when the unit is to be operated at other air flows and/or with
external static pressures. Adjustment must always be within the
performance range shown on pages 14 and 15 and the
temperature rise range shown on the unit’s rating plate.
To determine the proper blower speed and motor shave turns
open, the conditions under which the unit is to operate must be
know. If the blower unit is to be used without duct work, nozzles
or filters, the only criteria for determining the motor sheave
turns open and blower speed is the amount of air flow to be
delivered. The performance tables for blower models are shown
on pages 14 and 15. As an example, a model BSH150 unit

without filters operating with one external static pressure, that
is, no duct work, nozzles, etc., and is to deliver an air flow of
2071 cfm (cfm = cubic feet of air) requires that the unit be
supplied with a 1/2 hp motor, a C25 drive and, the motor
sheave set at 5 turns open to achieve a blower speed of 255
rpm (see performance table for units without blower enclosure,
page 14). See “Blower Adjustments” for setting of motor sheave
turns open.
If a blower unit is to be used with ductwork or nozzles, etc., the
total external static pressure under which the unit is to operate,
and the required air flow must be known before the unit can be
properly adjusted. Any device added externally to the unit, and
which the air must pass through, causes a resistance to air
flow. This resistance is called pressure loss. The total of the
pressure losses must be determined before adjusting the
blower speed.
If Modine filters are used, the expected pressure loss through
the filters is included in performance data on page 15. If Modine
supplied discharge nozzles are used, the expected pressure
loss of the nozzles can be found footnoted at the bottom of
page 10. If filters, nozzles, or ductwork are to be used with the
unit, and they are not supplied by Modine, the design engineer
or installing contractor must determine the pressure loss for the
externally added devices, or ductwork, to arrive at the total
external static pressure under which the unit is to operate.
Once the total external static pressure and the required air flow
are known, the operating speed of the blower can be
determined and the correct motor sheave adjustments made.
As an example, let’s say a model BSH150 is to be used with a
Modine supplied blower enclosure, Modine supplied filters, are
to be attached to ductwork supplied by others, and the unit is to
move 2071 cfm of air flow against an external static pressure of
0.2" W.C. static pressure, it is seen that the unit will require a
1/2 hp motor using a C22 drive, and the motor sheave should
be set at 1 turn open to achieve a blower speed of 415 rpm.
See “Blower Adjustments” for setting of motor sheave turns
open.

between the sheaves (refer to Figure 9a). Since the belt
tension will decrease dramatically after an initial run-in
period, It is necessary to periodically re-check the tension.
excessive tension will cause bearing wear and noise.
The blower bearings are lubricated for life; however, before
initial unit operation the blower shaft should be lubricated at
the bearings with SAE20 oil. This will reduce initial friction
and start the plastic lubricant flowing.
Make electrical connections according to the wiring
diagram.
Check rotation of the blower. Motor should be in clockwise
rotation when facing motor pulley. If rotation is incorrect,
correction should be made by interchanging wiring within
the motor. See wiring diagram on the motor.
The actual current draw of the motor should be determined.
Under no condition should the current draw exceed that
shown on the motor rating plate.

CAUTION
NOTE: Do not fire unit blower adjustment has been made or
unit may cycle on limit (overheat) control.
Start-up and adjustment procedures should be performed by a
qualified serviceman.
1. Shut-off power before making blower speed adjustments.
Refer to Determining Blower Speed on page 8 and to Blower
Drive Selection on pages 14 and 15 to determine proper
blower RPM.
Check the gas inlet pressure at the unit upstream of the
combination gas control. The inlet pressure should be 6"-7"
W.C. on natural gas or 11"-14" W.C. on propane. If inlet pressure
is too high, install an additional pressure regulator upstream of
the combination gas control.
The pilot flame must be adjusted as described below. Purging
of air from gas lines, piping, and lighting the pilot should be
performed as described in ANSI Z223.1-latest edition “National
Fuel Gas Code” (CAN/CGA-B149 in Canada).
Be sure no obstructions block air intake and discharge of unit
heater.
2. Loosen and take belt off of motor sheave.
3. Loosen set screw on outer side of adjustable motor sheave.
(see Figure 9).
4. To reduce the speed of the blower, turn outer side of motor
sheave counterclockwise.
5. To increase the speed of the blower, turn outer side of motor
sheave clockwise.
6. Retighten motor sheave set screw, replace belt and retighten
motor base. Adjust belt tension adjusting screw such that there
is 3/4" belt deflection when pressed with 5 pounds of force
midway between the blower and motor sheaves (see Figure
9a). Since the belt tension will decrease dramatically after an
initial run-in period, it is necessary top periodically re-check the
tension to assure continual proper belt adjustment.
7. Check to make certain motor sheave and blower sheave are
aligned. Re-align if necessary.
8. Re-check blower speed after adjustment.
Prior to Operation
Although this unit has been assembled and fire-tested at the
factory, the following pre-operational procedures should be
performed to assure proper on-site operation.
1. Turn off power.
2. Check burner to insure proper alignment.
3. Check fan clearance. Fan should not contact casing when
spun by hand.
4. Check all electrical connections to be sure they are secure.
9. Check motor amps. Do not exceed amps shown on motor
nameplate. Slow blower if necessary.
5. If you are not familiar with the unit’s controls (i.e.
combination gas control), refer to the control manufacturer’s
literature supplied with the unit.
10. Check air temperature rise across unit. Check temperature
rise against values shown in Performance Tables on pages 14
and 15 to assure actual desired air flow is being achieved.
6. Check that all horizontal deflector blades are open a
minimum of 30° as measured from vertical.
11. If adjustments are required, re-check motor amps after final
blower speed adjustment.

Pilot Flame Adjustment
CHECKING INPUT RATE
The pilot is orificed to burn properly with an inlet pressure of 67" W.C. on natural gas and 11-14" W.C. on propane gas, but
final adjustment must be made after installation. Adjust to have
a soft steady flame 3/4" to 1" long and encompassing 3/8"-1/2"
of the tip of the thermocouple or flame sensing rod. Normally
this flame will produce satisfactory results. To adjust the flame
use pilot adjustment screw on combination gas control (for
location, see the combination gas control literature supplied
with unit). If the pilot flame is longer and larger than shown by
Figure 7, it is possible that it may cause soot and/or impinge on
the heat exchanger causing burnout. If the pilot flame is shorter
than shown it may cause poor ignition and result in the controls
not opening the combination gas control. A short flame can be
caused by a dirty pilot orifice. Pilot flame conditions should be
observed periodically to assure trouble-free operation.
Input Adjustments
Natural Gas Flame Control
Control of burner flames on units utilizing natural gas is
achieved by moving the gas manifold to either increase or
decrease primary combustion air. Prior to flame adjustment,
operate unit with casing closed for about five minutes.
Operation can be viewed through the sight glass on the rear of
the unit (see Figure 11a).
Lack of primary air will cause soft yellow-tipped flames. Excess
primary air produces whort, well-defined flames with a
tendency to lift off the burner ports. Proper operation with
natural gas provides a soft blue flame with a well-defined inner
cone.
To increase primary air, remove the access panel (see Figure
11a and 11b). Next loosen the fastening screws holding the
hinged bottom pan in place and lower the bottom pan (see
Figure 14). With the bottom pan lowered, loosen the manifold
mounting screws (see Figure 14) and tap the manifold away
from the mixer tubes until the yellow flames disappear. To
decrease the primary air, move the manifold closer to the mixer
tubes until flames no longer lift from burner ports, but being
careful not to cause yellow tipping. Retighten manifold mounting
screws after adjustment.
Once adjustment has been made all around the bottom pan.
Replace the access panel, again checking for a good tight seal
around the entire perimeter of the access panel. Observe the
burner flame through the sight glass to make sure proper flame
adjustment has been achieved.
Propane Gas Flame Control
Adjustable primary air shutters are attached to the orifices on
the gas manifold for units equipped for propane gas operation
(see Figure 15). An optimum flame will show a slight yellow tip.
Prior to flame adjustment, operate unit heater with casing
closed for at least five minutes. If flame adjustment is
necessary, remove the access panel (see Figure 11a and 11b)
and adjust primary air shutters. Loosen wing screws and push
shutters forward to reduce primary air until yellow flame tips
appear. Then increase primary air until yellow tips diminish to
just a slight yellow tip and an clean blue flame with a welldefined inner cone appears.
It may also be necessary to adjust the manifold position in
addition to adjusting air shutters to obtain the proper flame.
Follow the instructions under “Natural Gas Flame Control” for
adjusting the manifold.
Replace the access panel making suer a good tight seal is
achieved around the entire perimeter of the access panel.
Observe the burner flame through the sight glass to make sure
proper flame adjustment has been achieved.
The gas pressure regulator (part of the combination gas
control) is adjusted at the factory for average gas conditions. It
is important that gas be supplied to the heater in accordance
with the input rating stamped on the serial plate. Actual input
rating stamped on the serial plate. Actual input should be
checked and necessary adjustments made after the hater is
installed. Over-firing, a result of too high an input, reduces the
life of the unit, and increases maintenance. Under no
circumstances should the input exceed that shown on the rating
plate.
(A) Meter Timing Method
1. Shut off all other gas-burning equipment, including other
pilot lights served by the gas meter.
2. Start the heater and determine the number of seconds it
takes to consume 1 cu. ft. of gas. Two basic formulas are
useful:
F1 = 3600 C/T
F2 = F1/C
Where
F1 = input to heater, Btuh.
F2 = input to heater, cu. ft. per hr.
C = heating value of gas, Btu per cu. ft.
T = time to consume 1 cu. ft. of gas in sec.
The heating value of gas may be determined from the local
utility or gas dealer.
These are representative values:
GAS
Natural
Propane
Btu per cu. ft.
1000-1150
2500
3. If the seconds for 1 cu. ft. are more (input less) than shown
in Table 5 for model being tested, remove the access panel
(see Figure 11a). With access panel removed, locate the
combination gas control and pressure regulator adjustment
screw (see Figure 11b). Remove the cap screw from he
pressure regulator and take one clockwise turn at a time on
the adjustment screw until the correct time is obtained. If
the seconds are less (input greater)than indicated in the
table, follow the same procedure in a counter-clockwise
direction.
If the correct number of seconds cannot be obtained check
orifice size. Correct orifices can be obtained from Modine
Manufacturing Company, Racine, Wisconsin. When requesting
orifices, state type of gas, heating value, and its specific gravity.
Also give model number of unit.
For example, if the input to the heater is 100,000 Btuh and the
heating value of the gas is 1000 Btu per cu. ft., then, by the
second formula, the input is 100 cu. ft. per hr. Table 4 indicates
the time for one revolution of various size meter dials with
various input rates. If a 1 cu. ft. meter dial is used, we proceed
down the cu. ft. column to 100 cu. ft. per hr. and then
horizontally to the left to determine a time of 36 seconds for
one revolution of the dial. Similarly, if the 1/2 cu. ft. dial is used,
we determine a time of 18 seconds for one revolution at the
required input.
After proper firing rate has been achieved, replace regulator
cap crew and replace access panel, making sure a good tight
seal is achieved around the entire perimeter of the access
panel.

is too high, install and additional pressure regulator upstream of
the combination gas control.
Important —Inlet pressure and manifold pressure must be
checked with unit in operation when making final adjustments.

➀ Permanent split capacitor motors on models PSH130 through PSH340.
➁ Split phase motors for 1/4 through 3/4 hp motors. Capacitor start motors are 1 through 2 hp.
➂ Whenever 230V/1φ or 230V/3φ power is used, it is necessary to specify 230V/25V controls. Whenever 460V/3φ power is used, it is necessary to specify 230V/25V
controls and in addition, a 460V/230V 75VA step-down transformer (by others) is required. On 230V/3φ or 460V/3φ systems, the motor starter coil voltage (motor
starter by others) must be 230V. For 200V/3φ systems, the motor starter coil voltage (motor starter by others) must be 200V.
➃ All motors used are produced, rated and tested by reputable manufacturers in accordance with NEMA standards and carry the standard warranty of both the motor
manufacturer and Modine. All motors are totally enclosed. Single phase motors have built-in thermal overload protection.
➄ 575V motor available on blower units only.

CONTROL OPTIONS
Propeller and Blower Unit Heaters — PSH and BSH Models ➀ ➁ ➂ ➃
Control System Description
Single-Stage, Intermittent Pilot Ignition, 100% Shut-off with Continuous Retry —
Utilizes a single-stage combination gas control and an ignition control (continuous retry).
Pilot is automatically lit on call for heat.

Shaded prices - Standard units in stock; all others 2-3 weeks delivery.
Stainless steel burner option - see page 5 for part number and list price.
CGA approved 460V and 575V aviailable on blower units only.
575V motor available on blower units only.
Control Operating Sequence
Upon a call for heat from the thermostat, power is supplied to
the time delay relay for the power exhauster motor. The power
exhauster motor will come on in 1 to 25 seconds. In 45 to 90
seconds (from the call for heat) the ignition control will be turned
on. This delay allows for a pre-purge of the unit and the vent.
Sparking will start at the igniter at the same time the first
operator of the combination gas control opens to allow ga to
flow to the pilot burner. The pilot flame should light and be
sensed (proven) in a few seconds. As soon as the pilot flame is
sensed the sparking will stop and the second operator of the
combination gas control will open to allow gas to flow to the
main burner. In 10 to 45 seconds from the time the ignition
control was energized (1 to 2 minutes from the call for heat from
the thermostat) the fan motor will start.

ignition control is turned on it will attempt to light the pilot
flame for 70 seconds. If the pilot flame is not sensed for any
reason, the ignition control will wait for a predetermined time
with the combination gas control closed and no sparking.
After the pre-determined time lapses, the cycle will begin
again. The time that lapses between cycles is at
preprogrammed intervals (approximately 6 minutes). This will
continue indefinitely until the pilot flame is sensed or until
power is interrupted to the ignition control.
When the thermostat has been satisfied, power is turned off
to the ignition control (and therefore the combination gas
control), so both the main gas and pilot gas are turned off.
The fan motor will continue to operate for 20 to 60 seconds to
allow the heat exchanger to cool down. Finally, the power
exhauster motor is turned off 1 to 2 minutes after the
thermostat is satisfied. This allows the products of
combustion to be cleared from the unit and the vent. The
system is now ready for another call for heat from the thermostat.
On units with control codes 08 and 09, when the ignition control
is turned on it will attempt to light the pilot flame. If the pilot
flame is not sensed for any reason, the sparking will continue
indefinitely until the pilot flame is sensed or until power is
interrupted to the ignition control. On units with control codes
30, 31, 85 and 86, the sequence is similar, except that when the

Limit Control (Overheat Switch)
The limit control, mounted on the left inner side panel (when
facing front of unit), will shut off the gas supply to the main
burner in the event of overheating. It is a single pole single
throw switch. The contacts open to shut the combination gas
control off in the event the unit should overheat. This limit
control should operate only when something is seriously wrong
with the unit. Anytime this control operates, correct the difficulty
immediately or serious damage may result. If the limit control
cuts off the gas supply during normal operation:
1. See that front louvers are open and that there are not any
obstructions in the air inlet or outlet.
5. On propeller units check fan speed against speed on motor
nameplate. On blower units check blower speed against
Performance Tables on pages 14 and 15; check for
restrictions in ducts and for dirty filters.
6. Check to make sur the venting system and combustion air
piping is not damaged or blocked. Also check to be sure
unit is venting normally.
7. Clean heat exchanger tubes inside and out if necessary.
8. If items 1-7 do not solve the problem, check limit control
and replace if necessary. The control is accessible by
removing the left outer side panel, held in place by screws
at the rear of the unit.
2. Check actual input to unit against rated input.
3. Check to be sure fan motor is operating.
4. On propeller unit check that fan is not loose on motor shaft.
On blower unit check belt and sheave for tightness or
damage.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS — GENERAL
Only people trained and familiar with the operation of unit
heaters and their controls should service this unit.
c. Primary air shutters (when used).
General Maintenance
e. Fan blades.
d. Clean heat exchanger tubes from bottom with stiff
brush after removing burner. (Do not use wire brush.)
1. Service air moving components annually.
To Remove Main Burner
a. On propeller units this includes checking motor for
lubrication if motor is not there permanently lubricated
type and check fan for fit on motor shaft and for
damage to blades.
1. Turn off electricity and gas to unit.
b. On blower units this should include:
3. Remove all fastening screws holding hinged bottom pan in
place and lower bottom pan (see Figure 2).
(1) checking motor and blower bearings for lubrication
(2) checking belt and sheaves for proper alignment and
adjustment
(3) checking cleanliness of blower wheel and filters
2. Keep unit free from dust, dirt, grease and foreign matter,
paying particular attention to:
a. Combustion air inlet terminal.
b. Main burner ports, pilot burner, an main burner orifices
(avoid use of hard, sharp instruments capable of
damaging surfaces, for cleaning these ports). If air
pressure is available, use air hose to blow dirt and
other foreign matter from within the burner. Also main
burner orifices should be checked for blockage due to
spider webs, etc.
2. Remove access panel (see Figure 13).
4. Disconnect pilot tubing and ignition cable from the
combination gas control and ignition control.
5. Remove the two burner retaining pins holding the burner in
place. The burner can then be easily lowered from the unit.
In replacing the burner, be certain that the slots at the front
of the burner are located properly on their shoulder rivets
and that the burner retaining pins are put back into their
proper locations.
Replace bottom pan and access panel, making sure a good
tight seal is achieved along he entire perimeter of both
panels.

Lifting Flame Condition
MANIFOLD
Combustion Diagnosis
To realize full gas heating value requires periodic inspections
with proper combustion control corrections as outlined and
illustrated here.
1. Lifting Flames. Lifting flames rise unevenly above the
burner port and may occur on few or all the ports.
Sometimes the flames drop and lift intermittently. Lifting can
be eliminated by reducing primary air. If flame cannot be
adjusted properly, check input rate to heater and manifold
gas pressure; reduce if necessary. Check the main burner
orifice size with those listed in Table 5 to be sure the unit is
not operating over rated input.
25
Heater Parts from ACF Greenhouses
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
2. Yellow Tipping. Yellow tipping of a normally blue flame is
caused by insufficient primary air, and indicates incomplete
combustion producing carbon monoxide ethylene, aldehyde,
and fee carbon (soot). A dirty orifice or one that is out of
line, can also reduce primary air and cause yellow tipping.
Check main burner orifices, clean, realign, or replace if
necessary. With propane gas, some yellow tipping is always
present, but is not objectionable.
3. Flashback. Flashback occurs when air-gas mixture ignites
inside the mixer tube to burn near the orifice. Flashback on
ignition or during burner operation usually can be eliminated
by reducing primary air. The burner may also be operating
below its rated capacity. Check input rate and adjust to
correct value by increasing orifice size or manifold gas
pressure.
dust may be blocking the heat exchanger. Check and clear
any blockage. Adjust primary air to get rid of yellow tipping
that may produce soot to block heat exchanger. Make sure
combustion air piping is not blocked.

4. Wavering Flames. Drafts across burners may cause flames
to appear unstable. Wavering flames can lead to incomplete
combustion if flames impinge on cool surfaces. Wavering
can be caused by air drafts into the burner compartment or
by misalignment of the burner. Draft-blown flames may
indicate a cracked heat exchanger.

5. Floating Flames. Floating flames are long — do not have
well-defined cones, roll around in the combustion chamber,
sometimes completely off the main burner ports. Usually an
aldehyde odor is present to indicate incomplete combustion.
If combustion air supply is reduced too far, burner flames
will float. Often the pilot flame goes out. Lack of combustion
air causes burner flames to float. The unit may be overfired
so its flue outlet area may be too small for the increased
firing rate. Check input rate and reduce if necessary. Soot or
